A small breakout discussion chaining from the discussion of colored extremities and gradient skin led to also talking about see-through body and how it's a big tag that could probably be split up. I don't know how I could format this but having a forum post with some roaming thoughts could help form more discussion, BURs and the like.
Some related topics, because discussing one tag leads down a massive rabbit hole of discussing other tags:
- Potential of restoring gradient skin (deprecated in topic #33688). post #10947622 is something that could be gradient skin + see-through body. The idea is that a part of the body is coloured differently and fades into other skin. It's at least distinct from the suggested concepts in the gradient skin deprecation wiki like patchwork skin.
- A distinct difference between the translucency of ghosts and slime girls?
- Characters with just limbs that are transparent. Mornye (Wuthering Waves) comes to mind (post #10334210). While the explanation is prosthetics, they don't look like what we typically tag prosthetic leg, so after discussion with some users I opted to avoid using the prosthetic leg tag so it wouldn't get polluted with another gacha character. I've chosen see-through body but it's not the body.
- Branching off the previous point, perhaps we need something for transformative limbs. Another example can be found with Skirk (Genshin Impact)'s limbs (see topic #32314 for discussion regarding them). There's also different types, like post #10764299 being animal replacements but not quite animal hands. We do have a single tag, magic arm, for a makeshift arm created with magic, which is another similar concept.
It's a bunch of things to consider for one topic but I found it a bit hard to avoid talking about just one of them without considering the rest as well. QAt its core, I think it'd be worth starting off figuring out how to break down see-through body into some better/more specific tags and have that be a chain reaction to solving some of our other body part appearance tagging.
